Christmas Island is a dot in the Indian Ocean, located 1570km south-east of Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.

Even though it is an Australian Territory, its closest neighbour is Java, 360km away.

If you love nature, you will love Christmas Island! 63% of it is national park containing species of flora & fauna found nowhere else in the world!

Probably the most noticable local is the Red Crab with over 100 million of these vivid red creatures living on the forest floor.

Exploring the waters surrounding the island is an experience not to be missed. Myriads of tropical fish swim by in only metres of water, while a short distance away, divers can cruise the drop-off which plunges dramatically into the abyss. You may even bump into one of our local spinner dolphins or at certain times of the year meet the majestic whaleshark!
